I bet the House is beautiful, but we didn’t get to see it. I only saw a painting and some chairs.

Dwell could really learn a thing or two about making architecture videos by watching The Local Project, The Modern Home, Simple Dwelling, ArchiPro, Hunting for George, Never Too Small, and Archimarathon. Interestingly, most of these content creators are based in Australia and New Zealand. Not sure why, but our friend's south of the equator do a fabulous job of showcasing homes.

[@rhephokrits]

I watch all of those channels and have to agree with the quality of their content. Can't quite find a North American counterpart of those videos/channels.

[@designunlimited6215]

@Anthony … I agree. I follow the ones you mention. Have you seen Everhouse? That’s another great channel. There are some really artful interior tours from Malta. ❤

I didn't know the Archimarathon. I have to check this one out. I follow all the others and recommend Architecture Hunter. It's Brazilian but spoken in English and it's very good.

[@HelloAnthony]

@@marisasm Oh, you're right, I forgot to mention Architecture Hunter! Archimarathon isn't all home tours -- they're a firm that also makes general arch-related videos -- but I'm sure you'll recognize some of the homes they feature. Cheers!

[@HelloAnthony]

@@designunlimited6215 Yes, I've seen them as well. Cheers!

[@mesalady2007]

Wow, so artistic and chic, I wish I can see more of the house!

@@dwell wow, you really just linked to a paywalled article. You gotta be kidding me... You realise I have about 50 papers and magazines asking me to subscribe, right? Now that's not going to happen, is it?

[@tiriono]

@@dwell wow. yeah. you don't see how this is icky behaviour.

Lovely, calming, cohesive house. I enjoyed seeing some vintage furnishings as well as simply nodss to MCM design language in everything: the T Shirt, wallpaper, rug, monstera. Almost like Marimekko, Alvar Aalto's plant filled interiors, light fixtures. We got glimpses of how the house would feel; I just wish we'd seen more of the house itself, and how the design dealt with the challenge of the Louisville climate.

[@sabrinalegere9630]

The house was never shown 😢

[@designunlimited6215]

Looks as though Dwell use this "sample teaser" just so you have to subscribe to their magazine. Would love to have seen more of this house. 🙁

[@d.w.1986]

Looks like such an interesting house, wish we could have seen more of the house itself.

[@ivywmi3755]

Wish they showed more of the house!

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

they want you to subscribe to their mag FOR MONEY. Haven't you gotten the memo... It's all about MONEY.

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

Lovely home! I totally LOVE MCM and especially your plants and those coffee tables!

[@Swagg3r3d]

Used to live in Louisville!

[@chupacabra77]

Everything about this house says "SoCal" and it's wild that its Kentucky.

[@anitaworking8033]

ME HA ENCANTADO. ORIGINAL Y CON PIEZAS QUE HACEN LA ESTANCIA MÁGICA. LO QUE MENOS..LA ALTURA DEL TECHO..ALGO BAJO. GRACIAS..SALUDOS DESDE ESPAÑA❗😉

[@marisasm]

too much talk too little of the house

[@madamemarmot]

Oh, that bath with the PLANTS.

[@eugeniaedits]

I am already liking this 😂❤

[@earth0337]

Those cushions 😢😵‍💫

[@edreamblinds]

Love it

[@jackstacks83]

There was way more footage of the couple sitting in one room then actual footage of the house. This was a pretty pointless video.

[@emmas1082]

It would have been nice to see the home…

[@sramirez824]

This video barely showed the house

[@unamor]

0:13 that artist got "inspired" by Joseph Yoakum much?

[@omitina7156]

!!!!!!!!

[@evelyntan5588]

It would be better to focus on the interiors than to the couple talking while seated on their couch.
